HelpRe: Biggles and Posie
in reply to a message by Anneza
I'd forgotten about Tommy and Tuppence! Nevertheless, 'Tuppence' was the character's nickname. Her real name was Prudence. (I don't know why/how that was her nickname.)

Didn't some actress call herself Tuesday rather than Susan? Similar sounds, and a more familiar word. Or, I could see a particular kind of family naming the first daughter Penelope and then the second (anything from Amy to Zoe) might become Tuppence as a natural progression.
More realistically, the parents of Biggles and Posie have proved their affection for nicknames used as full names ... perhaps little Biggles was lucky to escape with a mere literary lnfn!
